MUSLIMS IN IRAN ARE BECOMING MORE OPEN TO JESUS CHRIST

Dr. Sasan Tavassoli, a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Iran, spoke at the New Wilmington Mission Conference, July 18-25 in New Wilmington, Pa. He told how he was converted from being a Muslim to a follower of Jesus Christ.

"I want you to know--do not allow CNN and Fox News to define reality for you," he said. "Reality is defined by the promises of Jesus and He will build His church and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it..He is accomplish this in the Muslim world. God is doing something incredible. We see all the death, but behind the scenes God is working."
